Design, makee-learnee circuit experimentation for a desktop companion I want to make.

Some soldering and prototyping for a variable focus lamp head.

Some designs and test prints for a portable water color setup.

It’s been a good holiday break, I’ve gotten a chance to get some personal projects going.

Sadly the middle variety, Ohio Early, tastes the best because Zoe and Purple Viking are just so damn attractive.

Since these models are optimized for 3D printing and not art or video games they're missing the typical surface assignments and material information. A quick hack to get heterogenous materials on the same mesh is to do a couple of renders with the desired materials applied then composite them

Blocking in the background (with no-my-models), playing with color, trying to make this a straight forward study with a vary narrow palette

More sketching…

Sketch, sketch, sketch…

Lines, lines, lines…

Lines, lines, lines… construction lines to make a drawing more accurate.

Doing some renders for lighting and blocking... I'm going backwards, no AI here... heading towards acrylic and canvas board.
